Morphe - 35N

September 09, 2016

Hands in the air if you heard about Morphe! I suppose most of you have.

If you follow foreign beauty Youtubers, I am sure you heard about them, their brushes and eyeshadow palettes. Everyone is talking about Morphe and, of course, here in Croatia we can only dream about holding one of their products (even though they do offer international shipping, but then the price is... just too much). Except if you have a friend who knows a friend who goes to the States and can get you some of their goodies. Like I did. So today I'm gonna talk about one of their eyeshadow palettes - Morphe 35N.

The palette comes in a black cardboard box; with the Morphe logo and the web page, and the ingredients on the back. Then it is wrapped in a bubbly foil to protect it even more.

The palette is made of plastic, minimalistic and, I got to say - huge. Yes, you can tell that the palette is bigger than your usual eyeshadow palettes, but this is beyond every expectation. Also, on the back there are just a small sticker that shows the name of the palette - 35N.

The shadows are protected with a clear foil. The palette contains 35 (mostly) warm toned shadows that are all matte (just the way I like it). Also, there is a version of this palette with matte and shimmers - 35W, that has the exact same shades like 35N.

The pans are huge, a lot bigger than the standard pans in the palettes you can find here in Croatia.

The shadows are very soft in texture, almost creamy (all of them except the neon pink one, the fifth in second row - it is a bit chalky, and the last and second to last one in the last row - they have different texture, more rough than other ones).

The pigmentation of the shadows (again, all of them except the second to last on in last row - it is patchy and doesn't apply even on the skin) is more than just great. I wore them with the actual eyeshadow base but I also tend to apply whatever if left on the beauty blender when I use the concealer on my under eye and set it with a loose powder. This way I still have some base on my eyelids. Also, they don't crease but tend to have a bit of fallout.

They last the longest time on the lids. After my normal day (usually I wear my makeup for 8 hours, but I even wore them the whole day - from morning to evening), the shadow look the same as the first time you applied them.

The first row of the shadows seem less pigmented, but they aren't. They are just very similar to the skin color, so I use them as a base shadow or in the crease to help me with the blending of the shades I apply over them.

The next rows are getting darker and darker, from orange and corals, warm browns, yellows, to the purple and black shades. I have to admit, that pink and blue grey ones don't fit in the whole theme of the palette, so I never use them.

Even thought the whole palette is matte, you can do many different looks with it. You have you base shades, crease shades, shades for that pop of colour, but also the darker shades for outer part of the eye or for smoking it out. Well, if you like warm matte shades, you have everything you'd need in this palette.

The price is 39,99$ on Morphe webshop (link here), but you can find it on sale fo 19,99$.
